Dear Honorable Board Members:
Attached is final version and tracked version of the Plastic Bag Ordinance as approved by the Legislative Matters Committee on Thursday, November 19, 2015. In finalizing the document, I noticed that some of the defined terms included the word “means” after the term and some did not. In the final version, for consistency purposes, I added the word “means” after all of the defined terms. I also noticed that the preamble did not have a specific section number. I have attached a section entitled “Purpose.”
Also, there are some existing ordinances regarding plastic bags that may be impacted by the implementation of this ordinance. After the first of the year, I will make a submission to the Board recommending that the Board decide whether the existing ordinances should be amended or repealed.
Very truly yours,
David Shapiro
Assistant City Solicitor
